Records and photographs disappear from my catalog and LR but remain on my hard drive.

I'm totally frustrated.  I used LR for years without problem until in recent months.   I had folders disappear from my catalog.  Import photos from my card to my hard drive using the LR import feature.  I then note my photos, put some in the collections, use keywords and perform a basic treatment.  However when I get back later - the folder and photos are no longer in the catalog or anywhere in LR.  The photos remain on my hard drive in the same folder that I copied them originally.  I can import again in LR, but lose all the editing, cataloging, etc, I did the first time.  This has happened regularly in the past months.  Tonight, I have imported some new photos and realized that 13 files and hundreds of photos that I took 6/14-8/6 were missing from the catalog and the LR but are right where they are supposed to be on my hard drive.   This isn't a problem with linking a file in LR in the folder on the hard disk - file and the photos are not anywhere in the LR catalog...  I have no idea how to solve this problem.   I have no idea how to solve this problem.  Any ideas?  Help?

Do a search on your drive and see how many catalogues are about it. You are looking for *.lrcat. Sounds more like you have several catalogs and or you are using a type of system of automatic backup and for some reason LR among the old default catalog backups.

Either that or the catalog is being corrupted, which means you have a hardware problem. Could be the hard drive or RAM.
